Here’s how to start a blog

1. Choose a suitable name for your blog
   

   Start off choosing a name for your blog. It needs to be unique, so be sure to have at least five names you like in the event someone else has the same name. Choose a name based on your interests; do you want to blog about anime, cooking, fashion, or travelling? Whatever you are interested in, you can come up with a name that describes what your blog is about. And then register your domain name for the blog.

2. Choose a platform

   This is an integral part of the process. Find out which platforms are available and the advantages of each before making a choice. Consider one that is easy to use and gives you added features like an online store considering that your blog might grow over time, and people would like to make purchases online in the future. Once you select a platform, you can go online, open a new account, and customize it to suit your preference. Ideally, start a blog on WordPress as that’s so easy.

3. Customize your blog

   Once you have signed in, the next step is to choose a theme that works for you. With a few clicks, you can choose the layout of your home page and select the one that goes well with the blog theme. With so many designs to choose from; from new age to bohemian to rustic, there is something for everyone. The added advantage is that most blogs allow you to change the theme of a blog within seconds, so don’t fret too much about choosing the ‘right’ theme initially.

4. Write and edit your blog

   This is the part where you are meant to write, edit, and publish your blog. When you open a new blog, you can save it as a draft then get back to it when you want. Be sure to be creative and unique; once you figure out your tone and style, it will be easier for readers to identify your style, and they will keep coming back for more. Once you are through writing, proofread your blog. There are many editing tools available to help you edit your work and make it user ready. Once you’re through editing it, you can then publish it. This means making it available for uses to read online. Read how to write a perfect blog post by Neil Franklin.

5. Marketing
   

   With the millions of blogs out there, it will be difficult for someone to discover your blog, and this is where marketing comes in. Use your social media accounts to share the link and even send it to friends and family to read and ask them to give their comments. This way, you’ll start seeing more traction on the blog. The more you share, the more people visit your blog and read what you have posted.

With these tips, you are well on your way to starting and running your own blog.
